In this issue we look at what happens when a member of an arbitral tribunal fails to perform, enforcement of arbitration agreements against non-signatories, and securing the appointment of an arbitral tribunal in the absence of agreement.

We also look at whether there should be full and frank disclosure in international arbitration; and more.
